History

Episcopal worship in the area began in the spring of 1875, when the Rev, E. Folsom Baker, rector of St. Paul’s Church in East Springfield, began holding occasional services. An official mission in Springfield Center was not established until 1889, and the cornerstone for the new church was laid on September 21. [2] The congregation was elevated to a full parish in 1899.

Architecture

The complex also includes the parish hall, the rectory, and the wagon shed. The fin-de-siècle church building exhibits an unusual combination of Shingle and Gothic Revival styles and designed to evoke the feel of a medieval English chapel. The rectory was built in 1902, and is a two-story, Queen Anne style frame dwelling with a one-story wraparound porch. The parish hall was built in 1910–1911, and is a two-story, Gothic Revival style stuccoed and shingled building that complements the church. [3] The group was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 as St. Mary's Episcopal Church Complex. [1]
